*solved* (really) - 10K YRS mystery why dogs love us: They find us FASCINATING

[UTUSN]

I went out my back door and was shaking out some wood chips from the shirt pockets (this *ain't* lumberjackial) and when I turned around my two dogs were standing there watching (whatever) and I do mean whatever. I was FASINCATING!!1

1. They were probably hoping you were shaking out some cookie crumbs.

There is nothing more fascinating than treats! LOL

4. I do most of the cooking and snack providing. Our dog keeps a close eye on me.

But when my wife holds him, he looks at me with a 'who's this chump and why doesn't he leave us alone,' look.

Little jerk.

5. You know you're happy about it. n/t

6. Also, they're pack animals & you're the lead of the pack.

They probably love your companionship.

7. I'm like your dogs.

I'll watch my husband do something and find myself staring because I'm FASCINATED. I also get very excited and giddy when he comes home. I'm weird.

8. I really hope you are going to show your post to your husband. You're both pricelessly lucky. n/t

9. My dog is very curious when a new activity is being performed. She is right there watching.

10. Our critters find us interesting

But why is it that no cat believes that a human can use the bathroom without feline assistance/supervision?

11. My cat, bless his soul, loved dripping water.

12. I have never followed the cats to the litter pan, so why are they at mine?

13. I once got so frustrated that I asked my cat

that very question. He just meowed at me like I was a fool for asking,
